Dear Family and Friends of Charlie,

On behalf of the National Brain Tumor Society, we want to convey our deepest condolences upon the passing of Charlie. Charlie was a true inspiration for all of us here at NBTS through his incredible Gray Nation Endurance efforts in the 2019 Boston Marathon. He represented the strength and perseverance of the brain tumor community in his efforts to put meaning behind his miles. Our staff and organization was honored to cheer him on every step of the way. We will continue to carry on his legacy through our work with the brain tumor community everyday and please know he remains a pillar of our Gray Nation Endurance program, building the foundation of community members today who continue to represent the brain tumor community through their efforts to give back and take action. Words are rarely adequate in moments like these, but our thoughts are with your family during this difficult time.

Our deepest condolences,

Nikki Margeson, Lauren Gainor, and the National Brain Tumor Society Team

Lori, I am so sad to hear this news about Charlie. I am thinking of you. I so remember sweet little Charlie when he a little boy when you and I worked together. I don’t think he could have been any cuter. This is a very hard time. Rest assured that you were a great mom and blessed be the years you had with him. 

Charlie was the best!! This is Busko. I remember calling the house to see if he could play when we were in kindergarten. We grew up together. All the way up. What a great person! Best laugh ever, and just our buddy, A great person and friend. I never saw Charlie upset or sad. We had a good crew. Charlie, Ricky,Chad, Busko, Senne. Hard to believe he’s gone but god wanted him sooner for a reason. This is a tough blow, but we had so many good times!! He will watch over us now.

Charlie and I worked together several years back. He was our FYEX teacher at ZED and I was the advisor from RCTC who assisted with the course. I was blessed to have work with him over those years. He was so wonderful to work with and obviously a deeply caring soul. I am so sorry to hear of this great loss. My prayers and sympathy is with you all.

With love and peace,

Lori and family, I am sorry for your loss. May God's love and comfort be with you. Sheila McBride

I was a teammate of Charlie's for many years.  I know that he loved baseball and his teammates.  Mayo baseball is a high powered program and Charlie fit well with every team I ever played on with him.  It sucks that the last time I played on the same field with Charlie I was on opposite teams and hit him with my poor inside pitch that day.  But he didn't seem to care and he's just too kind to everyone.  I'm sorry for your loss and if there is baseball in heaven I'm sure he's having fun and cheering everyone on.

Sorry for your loss.  Prayers to the whole family as you grieve missing Charlie.  Love, Mary Lou Hindal
